"Ah!"
With the combined power of the "Ancient Witch's Golden Necklace" and the "Bodor Candle," Shard's Silvermoon Slash nearly split the man's head in two.
But he did not die. As he screamed, he managed to block the weak stab from Miss Annette's dagger with his sword. Then, his body leaped upward, sticking to the canopy like a huge bat, attempting to fly out of the room.
However, no matter how fast he flew, he could not outpace the light. A curved Light Blade chased him from behind and sliced down the massive shadow that had taken flight.
The man crashed heavily to the ground, the bloody longsword in his right hand dissipated, and the "Maze Candle" in his left rolled to the side. The blood mist exuding from him forced Miss Annette to retreat.
"No, no, I cannot be wounded here! That tree... No! Damn it! I cannot be wounded here."
"Detective, his condition is off. Be careful."
